College Park isn't a hotbed of couture fashion, but we do have some independent retailers that are certainly worth checking out.
Wood's Flowers and Gifts: Wood's Flowers and Gifts sells flowers for all occasions. Stop by to shop, or just inhale the scent of fresh-cut flowers. Mmm.
Gailes' Violin Shop: Gailes' Violin Shop doesn't just sell violins, though of course you can get those too. Go if you're in the market for a viola and cello, or bring in your instrument for a repair or trade-in.
Smile Herb Shop: Smile Herb Shop has all kinds of nifty stuff. From teas to oils, books to natural body-care products: it can all be found at Smile Herb Shop.
Big Planet Comics: Comic-book enthusiasts probably wouldn't regard Big Planet Comics as a boutique, but the store does have a vast selection of comics and graphic novels, and remains one of College Park's independently owned gems.
Honeycomb Hide-Out: Honeycomb Hide-out sells fun and trendy clothes from its Upper Marlboro location. Check it out if you're in the area and in need of something sassy to wear.

Will's is the greatest store in the entire metropolitan area to buy your paint, wallcoverings, drapes, blinds, flooring, carpeting, etc. I have been going there for many years and have referred my friends to Michael and Valerie - a most capable sister and brother duo! They are a gem and deserve our business.
